Hey Ladies!
I found out it's a healthy BOY! I am so excited! It is so funny the way things work out. I lost my son Luke at 24w2d in 2013, and now I am having another boy! I am meant to be a boy mom I guess! I was nervous about feeling uncomfortable if it was a boy, but now that it is happening, it feels so right. It is actually a very peaceful feeling. I feel like Luke picked him out and a part of him will live through this little guy. Pretty awesome!

Crystal--I actually did a test called Verifi which is the same thing. Since I used a donor egg, my maternal fetal medicine specialist said that I had to use this one instead of MaterniT21. I did MaterniT21 last time, so I am familiar with that one too. The great thing about this time was I got my results so fast. I had my blood drawn on Monday and found out that Friday morning! I was shocked to find out so soon! Last time it took a couple of weeks. Are you planning to do any testing?

Average is 6-9 months to concieve over 35 !! At least your trying !!! I'm still waiting for my results back and my Opk I took today is nearly positive so this will be another cycle wasted !!! I feel like I've been waiting to try for ages but it can't be a Sean is only 5 months lol....... I must have been thinking about trying again straight after giving birth ! It feels AGES !! I guess I'm just anxious , I know I'm so blessed with Sean and ill never take that for granted but I soooooooo would love another . I just feel time is going by so quickly and its running out for me . These feelings are magnified right now as I'm ov soon and can do nothing about it !!!!

Yes you know what you're right! I've got to stop thinking like that, yes def bfp's by the end of the year it is xxx I still can't help thinking we aren't bd enough, I know that sounds mad to everyone but honestly when I conceived Brooklyn we were bd about 7 times a day, day and night, because back then we had the time but now with Brooklyn we just can't do that really so its been 2/3 times a day and only once the day I o (bloody typical). I was reading a post the other day and the woman said once her opk went dark they bd like crazy and through the night and she got pregnant the first month, maybe with us that's what it takes, the other way hasn't worked for the last 6 months but its finding the time and we are pretty knackered these days with all the walking we do, I'm on track to be my wedding weight in just 4 lbs! Ive lost 1 stone 10 lbs now xxx

Jenn, wonderful news. I read on B & B once that someone thought that when you lose a baby, their sole stays with you, waiting for another body to be part of. So your little Luke could be there in your new little boy.
Becks, I honestly don't know how you managed 7 times a day. Your DH must be something else. I think my DH would have needed a wheelbarrow full of Viagra to have managed that, me as well probably!
My consultant told me that at our age, like Regina says, the average to get pg is 6-9 months, so hang in there.
I would so love to turn the clock back to this time last year, to enjoy the last month of my pregnancy all over again.
Every time I see someone who is pg I get a little pang of jealousy and so wish it was me again. I don't think that feeling will ever go away, I will just have to live with it and be thankful for what I have.
Caitlin moves her arm up and down to wave when you say hello and will clap her hands. She funny too, because we say 'where's Caitlin gone' but instead of putting her hands over her eyes, she puts them on her head.
She also loves blowing raspberries.
Tonight she was laughing so much she couldn't stay standing, she was trying to crawl after Eoin around the bed and he kept jumping out of her way and laughing, she thought it was hilarious!

Thanks Regina. Jinny Joe?? Just looked that up lol, haven't heard that before. Yes I will post pics. Slightly nervous/excited. Had a trauma as had big spider in house. Freaked me right out. Kept appearing and disappearing. I was hysterical. It was in front room so I spent as little time as possible in there. Found it on a towel, threw towel, lost it then looked down it was on my t-shirt yuk. Freaked out, flapped so it came off, I ran upstairs shaking and crying. D'S thought it hilarious and practically wetting himself. Told him he would be grounded if he didn't kill it lol. Anyway it kept disappearing. Found it tonight and managed to kill it myself. So proud.
